This cage comes with all the accessories you’ll need for it. It comes with 3 ‘houses’ and two large shelves. The houses come flat-packed, the cage comes as you see it.

Positive points about this cage:

This cage is huge - the base is really, really deep so you can put a good layer of substrate in the base without it going everywhere.

Access is excellent too with a huge door on the top of the cage as you can see in the pictures. There are also 2 small ‘access’ doors on the front which are handy for interacting with the occupants!

The houses it comes with and shelves it comes with are also ideal and you don’t need to add more although I did Plastikote mine as they are bare wood and *would* get smelly if I hadn’t done so. The shelves make good use of the space in the cage.

You can fit loads of toys in and tunnels etc and the narrow bar spacing means that smaller mice should be fine. I have 3 dwarf hamsters in mine that are smaller than mice and they haven’t escaped. Even people that keep Roborovski hamsters - the smallest of the hamster species - are able to safely house them in this cage. The horizontal bars also make climbing easy!

Being so wide this cage would suit mice throughout their lives as even elderly mice would be able to enjoy this cage or mice with mobility problems.

I love this cage and regularly say that out loud! It’s just so big and roomy for little animals and the narrow bar spacing makes it very versatile.

Negative points about this cage:

The base is fiddly to get on / off the bars, there is definitely a knack to it!

The shelves are *very* awkward to get into place so once you have decided where to put them you probably won’t want to move them about very often.

Being so wide, it is a bulky cage to put somewhere in a house. Ours is at the top of the stairs but if you only had a small bedroom etc to put a cage in you would probably find it difficult to find space for.

You may find layouts harder than in conventional cages as the top door can make hanging things hard to put in the cage.

The height isn’t so great as with a Freddy cage so less climbing opportunities. It’s also not a cheap cage to buy.
